Podcasts about Hans Frank

Voleva essere un re, fu solo un tiranno spietato, sanguinario, assetato di soldi e di potere. La storia di Hans Frank insegna come la spietatezza non conosco limiti, neppure negli uomini di Legge. Già difensore di Hitler in numerosi processi, Frank si insediò nel Castello di Wawel a Cracovia (luogo di incoronazione e di sepoltura dei sovrani polacchi) decidendo della sorte di milioni di innocenti. Le sue direttive portarono alla morte ebrei e polacchi mentre lui e la moglie Brigitte vivevano un'esistenza di lussi e sfarzi costruita anche sul contrabbando di tesori d'arte.

Niklas Frank wächst von 1939 bis 1945 im von Deutschland besetzten Polen auf. Sein Vater Hans Frank ist einer der Hauptverantwortlichen für die Verbrechen der Nationalsozialisten im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Wie lebt man im Schatten eines solchen Vaters? Und wie geht man mit familiärer Kriegsschuld um? Eine Kindheit im fremden Polen, aber in Luxus und Pomp, das erlebte Niklas Frank bis zu seinem sechsten Lebensjahr. Dann befreite die Rote Armee Polen von der deutschen Besatzung. Die Nazi-Schergen wurden verhaftet und vor das Internationale Militärtribunal in Nürnberg gestellt. Elf wurden zum Tod durch den Strang verurteilt, unter ihnen Hans Frank, Generalgouverneur von Polen, Hitlers Anwalt in zahlreichen Prozessen und damit politisch verantwortlich für die Deportation und Hinrichtung Hunderttausender Menschen. Mit knapp 50 Jahren beginnt der Autor und Journalist Niklas Frank, sich intensiver mit seinem Vater und dessen Taten auseinanderzusetzen. Obsessiv durchforstet er Akten, Briefe, Fotos und schreibt sich hasserfüllt von der Seele, was er Vater und Mutter nie sagen konnte. Olivia Röllin fragt anlässlich des 80. Jahrestages der Befreiung des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz-Birkenau: Wie geht man mit vergangener Schuld und einer solchen Familiengeschichte um? Was verbindet uns mit unseren Vorfahren, wie kann die Erinnerung an die Shoah lebendig gehalten werden und was passiert, wenn es eines Tages keine Zeitzeugen mehr gibt?

Er sagt von sich, er sei "der Sohn eines Massenmörders": Niklas Frank, das jüngste Kind von Hans Frank, der als "Schlächter von Polen" in die Geschichte eingegangen ist und 1946 hingerichtet wurde. Niklas Frank hat mit Büchern über seinen Vater, seine Mutter und seinen Bruder versucht, seine Herkunft und die Schuld seines Vaters aufzuarbeiten. Aber auch die aktuelle politische Situation bewegt ihn: "Zum Ausrotten wieder bereit" ist der Titel seines jüngsten Buches. Moderation: Norbert Joa

In questo podcast, Antonio Leggiero, formula un identikit personologico e criminologico dei gerarchi di Hitler, tentando di presentare – sulla scorta dei dati conosciuti nonché di ragionamenti induttivi-deduttivi di tipo criminologico e scientifico – una descrizione quanto più esauriente della personalità, della psiche, dei disturbi e delle autentiche patologie di quei sinistri orchestrali del male. Cerca insomma di elaborare un profilo criminologico dei principali gerarchi nazisti.Ascolterete, in questa seconda parte, le storie di Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg e Hans Frank. Julius Streicher, il più ripugnante dei gerarchi alla corte del Fuher. Criminale comune e sessuale.Condannato diverse volte, fu, sul modello di Rosenberg (ma in modo ancora più sconcio e squallidamente criminale), un autentico profeta dell'antisemitismo più abietto e viscerale. Trascorse la vita ad odiare gli Ebrei. Odiato, avversato e disprezzato da tutti gli altri suoi sodali gerarchi. Finì impiccato a Norimberga.Alfred Rosenberg, passato alla Storia come l'”ideologo del Nazismo”. Impiegò ogni sua energia, al servizio del Fuhrer, per diffondere e divulgare le sue deliranti e criminogene idee di supremazia razziale e biologica del popolo germanico. La sua azione instancabile ed indefessa fu terrificante e spietata. Fornì al terrifico sistema con la svastica una sorta di micidiale copertura pseudo-ideologica alle sue nefandezze. Fermo nei suoi propositi anche quando salì il patibolo.Hans Frank, dall'aspetto torvo e crudele, sempre con un ghigno mefistofelico, dotato di scarso intelletto,fu uno dei criminali nazisti maggiormente efficienti nello sterminio degliebrei e dei nemici del Terzo Reich. Da Governatore Generale della Polonia commise abomini mai perpetrati, con la sua tipica rozzezza e brutalità. Nel territorio a lui sottoposto riuscì a sterminare il 75% degli Ebrei che odiava.

On this day in legal history in 1946 the Nuremberg executions were carried out, following the trials of ten high level officials of the Third Reich.On October 16, 1946, a somber chapter in the aftermath of World War II closed with the Nuremberg executions. Ten prominent members of the Nazi regime were hanged, marking the end of the historic Nuremberg trials that sought justice for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The executed men included Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and Julius Streicher. Hermann Göring, another top Nazi official scheduled to be executed, evaded the noose by committing suicide the night before.These executions took place in the gymnasium of Nuremberg Prison and were carried out by the United States Army. Master Sergeant John C. Woods and his assistant, military policeman Joseph Malta, were the executioners. They used the standard drop method instead of the long drop, which led to considerable controversy as some of the men did not die quickly from a broken neck, but slowly strangled to death. Reports indicated that some hangings took from 14 to 28 minutes, leading to claims of botched executions, which the Army later denied.The order of the executions began at 1:11 a.m. with von Ribbentrop and spanned just about two hours. The condemned men were allowed final statements, many of which expressed a mix of nationalistic sentiments, pleas for peace, and even denial of guilt. For instance, Ribbentrop's final words were a wish for understanding between East and West, and for peace in the world. On the other hand, Fritz Sauckel claimed his innocence and asked God to make Germany great again.Kingsbury Smith of the International News Service provided an eyewitness account, complete with photographs, that later appeared in newspapers. The initial belief was that the bodies were taken to Dachau for cremation. However, they were actually incinerated in a crematorium in Munich, and the ashes were scattered over the river Isar.The Nuremberg executions and the trials that preceded them remain landmarks in the evolution of international law and human rights. While they meted out justice to some of the perpetrators of the Holocaust and other wartime atrocities, they also ignited debates on judicial ethics and the very nature of evil. Thus, October 16 serves not just as a grim remembrance of the punishment meted out to some of history's worst criminals, but also as a milestone in the ongoing global dialogue about justice and accountability.Judge David R. Jones, a top U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of Texas, has resigned amid an ethics investigation. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a formal misconduct complaint against him for not disclosing his live-in relationship with Elizabeth Freeman, an attorney at Jackson Walker LLP, a prominent bankruptcy firm. In a statement, Jones said he had become a "distraction" to the court's work and resigned to refocus attention on the court. His departure may trigger further scrutiny of the high-profile Chapter 11 cases he had overseen, including those involving Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, Seadrill Ltd., and Chesapeake Energy.The misconduct complaint was lodged by Chief Judge Priscilla Richman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over federal courts in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Freeman and Jones have lived together since 2017, and Jones approved attorney fees for Jackson Walker and even recommended Freeman for professional positions without disclosing their relationship. Richman stated there was "probable cause to believe that Judge Jones has engaged in misconduct."Jackson Walker learned of the relationship allegation in March 2021 and instructed Freeman to stop working on cases overseen by Jones. The firm claims to have acted responsibly, including conducting a full inquiry and consulting external ethics counsel. Freeman left the firm in late 2022. Jones was sworn in as a bankruptcy judge in 2011 and was instrumental in making the Southern District of Texas a popular venue for large corporate Chapter 11 cases.Jones defended his actions by stating he and Freeman were not married and that he had no economic interest in her cases. However, Richman cited instances where Jones violated the code of conduct for U.S. judges, including not recusing himself where impartiality could be questioned. The Department of Justice's bankruptcy watchdog also questioned a bankruptcy plan mediated by Jones involving a party represented by Freeman.As of now, it is unclear whether the federal appeals court investigation into Jones will continue post-resignation. Legal experts suggest the case could have long-term ripple effects, raising questions about what other judges or firms may have known about the relationship. Calls for larger reforms in bankruptcy practice have also been ignited, emphasizing the need for expanded disclosures and better regulation.Texas Bankruptcy Judge Resigns After His Ethics Questioned (2)Top US bankruptcy judge resigns amid ethics inquiry | ReutersCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law a bill to regulate the state's cryptocurrency industry, which hosts nearly a quarter of all blockchain companies in North America. The legislation comes in the wake of issues like last year's collapse of the FTX exchange and aims to establish a basic regulatory framework. Newsom, who is a proponent of blockchain innovation, had previously vetoed similar legislation but suggests that the current measure may still require further refinement for clarity.The law, known as AB 39, is paired with another bill, SB 401, which targets cryptocurrency kiosks, ATM-like machines where cryptocurrencies can be bought or exchanged. Both bills were signed by the governor. AB 39 seeks to replicate New York's licensing system for cryptocurrency businesses, requiring various safety protocols, documentation, and fees. Businesses will also need to disclose if their services are insured and must maintain a customer phone line. Enforcement actions, including revoking licenses and imposing civil penalties of up to $20,000 per day, will be handled by the state Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.SB 401 imposes restrictions on crypto kiosks, capping transactions at $1,000 per day and limiting charges to a maximum of $5 or 15% of the transaction value. Documentation requirements have also been stipulated for greater accountability. Consumer advocates believe that these laws are essential for curbing fraud in the cryptocurrency sector. However, industry groups like the Crypto Council for Innovation, representing companies such as Coinbase and Gemini, have opposed both bills. They argue that the laws need more exemptions for smaller companies and more clarity around the licensing process, while also claiming that the kiosk restrictions could effectively put such businesses out of operation.Gov. Newsom Signs Crypto Licensing Bill in CaliforniaSen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted for allegedly acting as a foreign agent for Egypt, which has led to renewed scrutiny of his role in blocking reforms to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Menendez, a Democrat, had substantial influence over FARA-related legislation in his capacity as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position he stepped down from following a previous corruption indictment. He has been identified as a significant obstacle to legislative efforts to modernize FARA, a law dating back to 1938 that requires disclosure for those acting on behalf of foreign interests.Bipartisan calls for reforming FARA have been growing, especially as the Department of Justice has increased its investigations under the law since 2016. However, comprehensive updates have failed to gain traction. Menendez had publicly blocked an expedited vote on FARA reform in 2020 and also worked behind the scenes to thwart changes to the foreign lobbying disclosure law. His indictment has now raised questions about whether his actions were motivated by a desire to cover his own activities related to Egypt.Menendez explained his 2020 decision to block a FARA package by urging a more comprehensive look at the proposed changes. A spokesperson for Sen. Charles Grassley, who backed the FARA reform, stated that Menendez has not been cooperative on FARA reform since the 2020 defeat of the proposal. Menendez, who is not charged under FARA but under a different statute pertaining to public officials, has denied any wrongdoing.The indictment against Menendez has reinvigorated discussions about the need for FARA reform. Legal experts suggest that his case could be a catalyst for legislative action, much like past scandals have precipitated changes in lobbying laws. The removal of Menendez from his committee position could also remove a significant barrier to FARA reform.The Justice Department alleges that Menendez conspired with officials who should have been registered under FARA, raising the stakes for reforms to the law, which has multiple ambiguities and outdated language. If Menendez is proven to have acted on Egypt's behalf, it could make it difficult for Congress to ignore calls for reform, especially given that Menendez had been urging the DOJ to investigate a Republican politician under FARA.Menendez Indicted as Foreign Agent After Thwarting Related BillU.S. prosecutors are expected to request a judge to restrict former President Donald Trump's public comments about a federal case that accuses him of attempting to overturn his loss in the 2020 election. The hearing is planned by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and aims to consider Special Counsel Jack Smith's bid to prevent Trump from discussing potential witnesses and making disparaging remarks about prosecutors, court staff, and potential jurors. Smith has pointed to Trump's "inflammatory public statements," including social media attacks, arguing that they could undermine public confidence in the legal process and possibly sway jurors.Trump, who is not expected to attend the hearing, has strongly opposed this request, describing it as an attempt to limit his free speech while he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. The issue has become an early contentious point, approximately five months ahead of Trump's scheduled trial. The former president is charged with conspiracy to interfere in the vote counting and blocking the certification of the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.Trump has pleaded not guilty and accuses the prosecutors of interfering with his campaign. This is one of four criminal cases brought against him by federal and state prosecutors this year. Earlier this month, a New York judge issued a gag order against Trump in a civil fraud trial, prohibiting him from speaking about court staff.In a court filing, prosecutors cited comments Trump made on his Truth Social site about potential witnesses, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former top U.S. general Mark Milley. They argue that Trump's remarks are consistent with threatening behavior he exhibited after the 2020 election, which led to threats from his supporters against election officials.Trump's legal team has responded by saying there is no evidence to suggest that his social media posts have adversely affected the case. They accuse prosecutors of trying to impose broad restrictions on Trump's ability to criticize the government. Trump's lawyers argue that the proposed gag order is an attempt by the Biden administration to unlawfully silence its major political opponent.Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to provide the investigation a degree of independence from the political leadership of the U.S. Justice Department. Prosecutors have previously refuted allegations of political interference.Prosecutors aim to persuade judge to rein in Trump comments on election case | ReutersMicrosoft has successfully completed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, making franchises like Call of Duty officially part of Xbox. The deal makes Microsoft the second-largest gaming company in the world, surpassing Sony. It also greatly expands the catalog for Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service, with Activision Blizzard titles like Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, and World of Warcraft, while boosting Microsoft's presence in mobile gaming through titles like Candy Crush and Call of Duty Mobile. Microsoft has signed a 10-year agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation but may make other Activision Blizzard franchises exclusive to Xbox.The acquisition expands Microsoft's gaming business by roughly 10,000 employees. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick will remain with the company through the end of 2023, reporting to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. Microsoft has agreed to union neutrality, and Activision Blizzard employees will have the opportunity to recognize a union through a simple card check process starting 60 days from now.The deal was initially announced in January 2022 after Activision Blizzard faced a drop in stock price due to major game delays and reports of sexual harassment within the company. Contrary to previous expectations that Kotick would resign after the deal, he is set to stay on and stands to make nearly $400 million from the sale via his stock holdings.Legal battles almost derailed the merger, with the Federal Trade Commission attempting to block it, resulting in a week-long trial. However, Microsoft managed to clear the regulatory hurdles, including agreeing to sell cloud gaming rights for Activision Blizzard games in the UK to Ubisoft to satisfy the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.Going forward, Microsoft faces the challenge of integrating Activision Blizzard into its existing gaming operations, a process that is expected to take years. This acquisition significantly amplifies Microsoft's gaming business, coming after its 2020 purchase of Bethesda Softworks' parent company ZeniMax, and sets the stage for future industry consolidation.Microsoft Finally Closes Massive Activision Blizzard Deal, Making Call Of Duty Officially Part Of Xbox Now Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Europoseł Prawa i Sprawiedliwości wskazał, że ostatnia antypolska rezolucja Europarlamentu w zasadzie uznaje, że polskie państwo już nie istnieje, a jego instytucje są nielegalne. Gościem Poranka Wnet był profesor Zdzisław Krasnodębski, socjolog i poseł do Parlamentu Europejskiego, który stwierdził, że w wielu państwach europejskich widać narastająca falę sprzeciwu wobec lewicowej agendy forsowanej przez unijne instytucje: Zazwyczaj jest tak, że pewne skrajne tendencje budzą reakcję. I rzeczywiście na te skrajne tendencje widzimy, nie tylko po tych wynikach sondaży Niemczech, ale też innych krajach. Z jednej strony narasta opór wobec tych wszystkich przemian instytucjonalno-etycznych. Z drugiej strony przeciwko napływowi imigrantów. No i wreszcie przeciwko polityce klimatycznej. Te trzy czynniki przyczyniają się do tego, że mamy w Europie właśnie tę prawicową tendencję. Prof. Krasnodębski wskazał, że agenda klimatyczna napotyka na coraz większy opór także w partiach europejskiego głównego nurtu: Nastąpiła zasadnicza zmiana, jeżeli chodzi o europejską partię ludową, ponieważ w deklaracjach jej przewodniczącego Manfreda Webera i całej niemieckiej delegacji, pojawiła się bardzo jasna deklaracja przeciwko planowi odbudowy przyrody. Manfred Weber stwierdził, że Frans Timmermans działa ideologicznie, że ten plan odbudowy jest ideologiczny i nierealistyczny. To jest mocny sygnał polityczny. Europoseł odnosząc się do ostatniego głosowania nad unijnym projektem odtworzenia siedlisk przyrodniczych, podkreślił, że koszty polityki klimatycznej powodują wzrost poparcia dla prawicowych partii: Te cele klimatyczne są coraz bardziej radykalne i przyspieszają tempo ich wprowadzania, że teraz ma płacić, nie tylko polski górnik, ale też holenderski rolnik albo duński rolnik, lub posiadacz samochodu spalinowego, albo ktoś, kto w Niemczech na wymieniać teraz ogrzewanie swoim domu. Dopóki to były cele bardzo ogólne, to wszyscy się zgadzali. Natomiast w tym momencie, kiedy się okazało że to dotyczy i dotyka przeciętnego obywatela i już nie tylko Polski Bułgarii czy Rumunii, tylko Niemiec, Danii, Holandii i dlatego mamy ten efekt, który widzimy w Niemczech, że się zmieniają preferencje wyborcze, stąd niemiecka chadecja CDU postanowiła zareagować. Zdaniem Zdzisława Krasnodębskiego wybory w Polsce i kwestia przeprowadzenia referendum ws. migracji, ma kluczowe znaczenie dla elity unijnej, bo zwycięstwo PiS-u wzmocni konserwatywne zmiany w inny państwach UE: Dla nich niebezpieczne byłoby wygranie przez Prawo i Sprawiedliwość wyborów. Gdyby te tendencje, o których mówimy, pogłębiły się w innych krajach gdyby, powiedzmy Hiszpania poszła drogą Włoch i gdyby coś takiego nastąpiłoby we Francji, to oczyści się wtedy cała polityka unijna by się zmieniła. I dlatego oni oczywiście traktują polską politykę jako bardzo ważna część tego wszystkiego, co się dzieje w Europie, bo my inspirujemy tych innych. jak państwo sobie przeczytają tekst tej rezolucji, to jest to kompletnie podważenie polskiej państwowości. Tam się mówi, że już nie ma żadnych instytucji. Myślę, że przewodniczący komisji LIBE Parlamentu Europejskiego najchętniej by tutaj przyjechał jak mniej więcej kiedyś Hans Frank, żeby jakoś zarządzać Polską niczym Generalnym Gubernatorstwem, czymś takim - podkreślił prof. Zdzisław Krasnodębski.

In the lead-up to World War II, the rising tide of fascism and antisemitism in Europe foreshadowed Hitler's genocidal campaign against Jews. But the horrors of the Holocaust were not limited to the concentration camps of Europe: antisemitic terror spread through Vichy French imperial channels to France's colonies in North Africa, where in the forced labor camps of Algeria and Morocco, Jews and other "undesirables" faced brutal conditions and struggled to survive in an unforgiving landscape quite unlike Europe. In Undesirables: A Holocaust Journey to North Africa (Stanford UP, 2023), historian Aomar Boum and illustrator Nadjib Berber take us inside this lesser-known side of the traumas wrought by the Holocaust by following one man's journey as a Holocaust refugee. Hans Frank is a Jewish journalist covering politics in Berlin, who grows increasingly uneasy as he witnesses the Nazi Party consolidate power and decides to flee Germany. Through connections with a transnational network of activists organizing against fascism and anti-Semitism, Hans ultimately lands in French Algeria, where days after his arrival, the Vichy regime designates all foreign Jews as "undesirables" and calls for their internment. On his way to Morocco, he is detained by Vichy authorities and interned first at Le Vernet, then later transported to different camps in the deserts of Morocco and Algeria. With memories of his former life as a political journalist receding like a dream, Hans spends the next year and a half in forced labor camps, hearing the stories of others whose lives have been upended by violence and war. Through bold, historically inflected illustrations that convey the tension of the coming war and the grimness of the Vichy camps, Aomar Boum and Nadjib Berber capture the experiences of thousands of refugees through the fictional Hans, chronicling how the traumas of the Holocaust extended far beyond the borders of Europe.

But the horrors of the Holocaust were not limited to the concentration camps of Europe: antisemitic terror spread through Vichy French imperial channels to France's colonies in North Africa, where in the forced labor camps of Algeria and Morocco, Jews and other "undesirables" faced brutal conditions and struggled to survive in an unforgiving landscape quite unlike Europe. In Undesirables: A Holocaust Journey to North Africa (Stanford UP, 2023), historian Aomar Boum and illustrator Nadjib Berber take us inside this lesser-known side of the traumas wrought by the Holocaust by following one man's journey as a Holocaust refugee. Hans Frank is a Jewish journalist covering politics in Berlin, who grows increasingly uneasy as he witnesses the Nazi Party consolidate power and decides to flee Germany. Through connections with a transnational network of activists organizing against fascism and anti-Semitism, Hans ultimately lands in French Algeria, where days after his arrival, the Vichy regime designates all foreign Jews as "undesirables" and calls for their internment. On his way to Morocco, he is detained by Vichy authorities and interned first at Le Vernet, then later transported to different camps in the deserts of Morocco and Algeria. With memories of his former life as a political journalist receding like a dream, Hans spends the next year and a half in forced labor camps, hearing the stories of others whose lives have been upended by violence and war. Through bold, historically inflected illustrations that convey the tension of the coming war and the grimness of the Vichy camps, Aomar Boum and Nadjib Berber capture the experiences of thousands of refugees through the fictional Hans, chronicling how the traumas of the Holocaust extended far beyond the borders of Europe.

"Das Schicksal hat entschieden, dass wir die Herren, die Polen aber die uns Schutzunterworfenen sind," hat Hans Frank einmal gesagt, doch von "Schutz" konnte unter seiner Herrschaft im Generalgouvernement keine Rede sein. Denn wenn er "für je 7 erschossene Polen ein Plakat aushängen" gelassen hätte, so hätten, laut Frank, alle Wälder Polens nicht ausgereicht, "das Papier herzustellen für solche Plakate".  Sein Sohn Niklas, den er nur verächtlich "Findi" nannte, klagt ihn nach dem Krieg scharf an: "diese Scheißbilder trage ich mit mir rum, Vater" und werde sie nicht los. Doch selbst im Nürnberger Kriegsverbrecherprozess zeigt der Opportunist keine Spur von Einsicht. Die schreckliche Geschichte des Hans Frank erzählen wir in der heutigen Podcast-Folge.

In der heutigen Folge beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Leben von Rudolf von Sebottendorf, dem Gründer der Thule-Gesellschaft.Die Thule-Gesellschaft war eine deutsche okkultistische und völkische Geheimgesellschaft, die kurz nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in München gegründet wurde und nach einem mythischen Land im Norden der griechischen Sage benannt ist. Die Gesellschaft ist vor allem als Trägerorganisation der Deutschen Arbeiterpartei (DAP) bekannt, die später von Adolf Hitler in die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) umgewandelt wurde.Laut dem Hitler-Biografen Ian Kershaw, liest sich die Mitgliederliste der Organisation wie ein "Who's Who" der frühen Nazi-Sympathisanten und führenden Persönlichkeiten in München", darunter Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank, Julius Lehmann, Gottfried Feder, Dietrich Eckart und Karl Harrer.---Wir freuen uns sehr, wenn du uns eine Bewertung schreibst und uns bei Twitter (https://twitter.com/allezeit_pod) & Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@allezeitderwelt) folgst!

El imperio zarista, el imperio austrohúngaro, el imperio otomano y el imperio nazi. Queda el mío, mi imperio de sesenta y cuatro casillas.» A sus cuarenta y siete años, el campeón del mundo de ajedrez Aleksandr Aleksándrovich Alekhine, ruso de nacimiento y nacionalizado francés, juega las partidas del mismo modo en que vive su vida: de victoria en victoria, de continente en continente. Corre el mes de septiembre de 1939 cuando se embarca en Buenos Aires rumbo a Europa junto a su mujer y el jarrón de porcelana que no lo abandona desde que, siendo un adolescente, lo recibiera como trofeo de manos del zar Nicolás II. El hombre al que el compositor Harold Schonberg describió como «más inmoral que Richard Wagner y que Jack el Destripador» no tiene otra preocupación que la revancha que lleva doce años negando a su eterno rival, el cubano Capablanca. Sin embargo, en París le espera una carta llamándole a filas, mientras que el Reich le insta a unirse a su causa y crear una escuela de ajedrez para las futuras generaciones alemanas. En un momento en el que todo puede aún decidirse en el tablero, el genio del ajedrez toma una resolución que lo convertirá en rehén de los nuevos dueños de Europa y colaborador de Hans Frank y Joseph Goebbels. Poco a poco, las piezas de su propia jugada maestra —su esposa Grace y Spielmann, Rubinstein, Przepiórka: los grandes maestros judíos perseguidos, antaño sus mejores rivales— irán cayendo una tras otra. #penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #Arthur #Larrue #ArthurLarrue See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Das Todesurteil gegen Hans Frank jährt sich am 1. Oktober zum 75. Mal. Sein jüngster Sohn Niklas Frank hat sich intensiv mit der grausamen Vergangenheit seiner Eltern auseinandergesetzt. Moderation: Jürgen Wiebicke.

Niklas Frank was just seven years old when his father, Hans Frank, Hitler's legal adviser and Governor General of occupied Poland, was executed at Nuremberg as a Nazi war criminal. Throughout his life, Niklas has attempted to come to terms with the enormity of the crimes his father committed, and this remarkable book traces how after years of research he uncovered the extent of the horror unleashed by the man who was known as the butcher of Poland.

Drawing on official transcripts of the trial, as well as a vast bibliography of first- and second-hand accounts, NUREMBERG tells the stories behind the legal, political and personal struggles which complicated this revolutionary exercise in international jurisprudence. You can find previous episodes of our Nuremberg series here.

Nazi Almanyasında Alman Hukuk Akademisi Başkanlığı yapan ve Hitlerin sadık bir adamı olan Dr. Hans Frank'ın şu sözleri hukukun nasıl bir rejim silahına dönüştüğünün ispatıdır: “Nasyonal Sosyalizm karşısında hukuk bağımsızlığı yoktur. Vereceğiniz her kararda önce kendinize şunu sorunuz: «Benim yerimde Führer (Hitler) olsa nasıl karar verirdi?» Her kararda şunu söyleyiniz: «Bu karar Alman halkının Nasyonal Sosyalist vicdanıyla uyuşuyor mu?» İşte o zaman. Nasyonal Sosyalist halk devletinin birliğine karışmış ve Adolf Hitler iradesinin ölümsüzlüğünü tanımış olarak Üçüncü Alman İmparatorluğu'nun otoritesini kendi karar alanınızda her zaman için sağlayacak bir temel buldunuz demektir.” Halk Adalet Divânı, 5243 ölüm, 7768 hapis cezası ve 1089 beraat kararı vermiştir. Çok az beraat kararı vermiş beraat edenler ise Gestapo'ya teslim edilmiştir. Hitler'in Şeytanı olarak ünlenen Yargıç Roland Freisler'in baktığı en meşhur davalardan birisi de Sophie ve Hans Scholl kardeşlerin davasıdır. Suçları; “vatana ihanet, düşmanla işbirliği yapmak, askerin moralini bozmaktır.” Savcı "bu gençler savaş sırasında en tehlikeli propaganda unsurlarıyla vatana ihaneti etmişlerdir” mütalaa vermiştir. 22 Şubat 1943'te vatana ihanetten suçlu bulunmuş ve aynı gün idam edilmişlerdir. Suçları gazetelerin susturulduğu Hitler coğrafyasında bildiri dağıtmaktı. Freisler 3 Şubat günü Cumartesi olmasına rağmen, mahkeme binasında önündeki bir duruşmayı yönetirken Kızıl Ordu bombardımanı esnasında can verir. Kaçmamıştır. Çünkü 150 bin kişilik Kızıl Ordu Berlin'e girerken Alman halkı Rusya'yı işgal ettiklerini zannediyorlardı. Zira Nazi kontrolündeki medya böyle söylüyordu. Freisler tarihin garip bir tecellisi olarak Nazi muhaliflerine mezar olan adliye binasında enkaz altında kalır. Adalet sistemi siyasetçinin elinde bağımsızlığını yitirince ülke zaten enkaza dönmüştür. Ve bu enkazın altında tüm Almanya kalmıştır. Freisler'in, hakkında idam kararı verdiği Sophie Scholl'ün darağacında söylediği; “…bizlerin gidişiyle binlerce insan uyanacak ve harekete geçecekse varsın öleyim ne önemi var?” sözler hakikate dönüşmüş, Alman Halkı, demokratik ve hukukun üstünlüğüne dayanan devleti adeta küllerinden yeniden inşa etmiştir.

Ngày 20/11/1945, tòa án quân sự quốc tế bắt đầu xét xử một số lãnh đạo cao cấp chế độ Đức Quốc Xã. Lần đầu tiên trong lịch sử, những tội ác chiến tranh, tội ác chống hòa bình và tội ác chống nhân loại được đưa ra xét xử trước một tòa án quốc tế. Sự kiện đánh dấu cột mốc cho sự hình thành Tòa án Hình sự Quốc tế - CPI sau này. « Mong rằng bốn nước đại cường thắng trận nhưng cũng chịu nhiều thương tổn không có hành động báo thù đối với những kẻ thù tù binh của họ, đây là một trong những vật cống quan trọng nhất mà một cường quốc chẳng bao giờ phải trả cho lẽ phải ». Bằng những lời lẽ trang trọng này, chưởng lý Robert H. Jackson, thẩm phán Tối Cao Pháp Viện Mỹ, đã khai mạc phiên xử. Một phiên tòa chưa từng có Định mệnh trớ trêu, tòa án quốc tế được thành lập tại Cung điện Công lý tráng lệ của thành phố Nuremberg, thành trì đế chế cổ, và thành phố biểu tượng của chủ nghĩa phát xít. Chính tại nơi đây, Hitler thường tổ chức các cuộc tập hợp và ban hành các đạo luật chống người Do Thái năm 1935. Trong lịch sử ngành luật, Nuremberg được xem như là một phiên tòa ngoại hạng. Hai mươi bốn nhân vật lãnh đạo cao cấp của Đức Quốc Xã ngồi ghế bị cáo. Mười tháng xử án, với gần 3.000 tấn tài liệu, 6.600 mẫu vật chứng và hàng trăm nhân chứng. Phiên xử quy tụ hơn 400 nhà báo, hàng trăm thông dịch viên để chuyển ngữ các cuộc tranh luận theo 4 thứ tiếng và một biên bản nghe luận dầy 16.000 trang. Sau 218 ngày tranh cãi, phiên tòa kết thúc vào ngày 01/10/1946 với 12 bản án tử hình, ba lệnh tha bổng và 7 án tù đi từ 10 năm đến chung thân. Ông Matthias Gemahlich, tiến sĩ về sử học trên tờ Deutsch Well của Đức, nhắc lại rằng ý định lập một tòa án quân sự đặc biệt xét xử những hành động bạo tàn của các lãnh đạo và quân nhân Đức Quốc Xã, đã được bốn nước đồng minh là Hoa Kỳ, Liên Xô, Anh và Pháp bàn thảo ngay từ năm 1943. « Bốn cường quốc đồng minh này đã đạt được một đồng thuận sao cho có được một tòa án quốc tế, một cơ quan có thẩm quyền để xét xử các nhà lãnh đạo, các đại diện và các quan chức cao cấp của Đức Quốc Xã. » Phiên tòa khai mạc nhưng vắng bóng Adolf Hitler, đã tự sát vì không muốn rơi vào tay Đồng Minh. Nhưng trên ghế bị cáo, vẫn còn có Hermann Goring – nhân vật số 2 của chế độ Đức Quốc Xã, Rudolph Hess, Hans Frank hay Robert Ley, những nhân vật cao cấp. Do vậy, với nhà nghiên cứu sử học Matthias Gemahlich , « Đây đúng là một điều rất mới trong lịch sử bởi vì trước đó, chưa từng có một định chế, một cấp tòa án nào như thế có được thẩm quyền và trách nhiệm này. Và họ cũng có được đồng thuận sao cho phiên xử này phải được công minh. Tòa án Quân sự Nuremberg lúc đó là độc lập, không có một quân lệnh nào và các thẩm phán cũng độc lập ». 75 năm sau nhìn lại, Nuremberg cho thấy là một phiên tòa ở cấp độ quốc tế với những thẩm phán đến từ nhiều nước khác nhau vẫn là điều có thể. Đó là một phiên tòa có tranh luận. « Các bị cáo vẫn có quyền phát biểu, họ cũng có cả luật sư và do vậy họ có thể chuẩn bị trước khi phiên tòa được mở » theo như ghi nhận của sử gia Ornella Rovetta, trường đại học Bruxelles trên đài RTBF của Bỉ. Phiên tòa Nuremberg còn là dịp để tìm hiểu điều gì đã dẫn đến những hành động tàn bạo, để rồi từ đó cho ra đời những thuật ngữ pháp lý mới như tội ác chiến tranh, tội ác chống nhân loại và sau này là diệt chủng. Những khái niệm, những nguyên tắc cơ bản mà theo bà Viviane Dettrich, phó giám đốc Viện nghiên cứu các nguyên lý Nuremberg, khi trả lời đài RFI cho rằng 75 năm sau vẫn còn giữ nguyên các giá trị, làm nền tảng cho các vụ xử quốc tế sau này như nạn diệt chủng tại Rwanda hay như các vụ thảm sát ở Nam Tư cũ. « Đó là một sự đổi mới về pháp lý. Các từ, thậm chí các thuật ngữ đã được tạo ra vào thời kỳ đó như thuật ngữ ʺtội ác chống nhân loạiʺ chẳng hạn. Đây là lần đầu tiên, loại hình tội phạm mới này nằm trong chương trình nghị sự của phiên tòa Nuremberg.   Thuật ngữ học giờ đã có những thay đổi. Trước đây, người ta nó đến tội ác chống nhân loại, tội ác chống hòa bình, những thuật ngữ đó đã được đưa vào trong từ vựng quốc tế. Ngày nay, người ta nói đến tội danh gây hấn nhiều hơn là tội ác chống hòa bình . Nhưng trên thực tế những tội danh đó vẫn là những tội ác quốc tế, chúng cũng chính là những tội ác được tòa án Nuremberg nhìn nhận vào năm 1945. Điều gây ấn tượng chính là khái niệm diệt chủng lại không được đề cập đến trong Hiến chương Luân Đôn, nguồn gốc của phiên tòa Nuremberg. Phải đợi đến năm 1948 khái niệm này mới có trong Công ước về Ngăn ngừa và Trừng phạt tội Diệt chủng (Convention pour la Prevention et la Repression du Crime de genocide). » Nếu như năm 1945, Nuremberg đã khai cổng, thì con đường đi đến công lý quốc tế thật sự cũng nhiều chông gai. Phải đợi đến hơn nửa thế kỷ, sau khi chiến tranh lạnh kết thúc, Tòa án Hình sự Quốc tế - CPI, mới thật sự ra đời năm 1998, đóng trụ sở tại La Haye. Chỉ có điều bối cảnh chính trị ngày nay đã có nhiều đổi khác. Tuy không có những cuộc đại chiến, nhưng bà Viviane Dettrich cho rằng những cuộc xung đột nhỏ và dai dẳng nổ ra khắp nơi, đang đặt CPI trước nhiều thách thức quốc tế trong việc xét xử các tội ác ngày nay. « Thách thức hiện tại cho chúng ta là tiếp tục duy trì ý tưởng một nền công lý quốc tế do phiên tòa Nuremberg mang lại. Đúng là tình hình hiện nay hoàn toàn khác biệt, nghĩa là các cuộc chiến dai dẳng hơn, những mối đe dọa tái hiện, những kẻ gây tội ác tìm cách lẩn trốn, việc thu thập nhân chứng và bằng chứng nhiều khó khăn hơn. Nền công lý ngày nay đang bước vào bối cảnh bị chính trị hóa sâu sắc và bị chia năm xẻ bảy. » Công lý của kẻ mạnh? Nhưng rủi thay những hạn chế của Nuremberg năm xưa cũng là những giới hạn của CPI ngày nay. Ngay khi mở phiên tòa, Nuremberg đã bị chỉ trích là tòa án của bên thắng cuộc đối với bên bại trận. Đó là một nền công lý một chiều và nhiều mảng tối vẫn chưa được làm sáng tỏ. Vì sao không ai phán xử những tội ác do phe Đồng Minh gây ra ? Tính chất phổ quát, tính chính đáng của CPI giờ còn thêm phần hạn hẹp do thiếu vắng sự hiện diện của nhiều nước lớn. Vẫn theo nhà nghiên cứu về Nuremberg, việc cả Hoa Kỳ, Nga, Trung Quốc lẫn Ấn Độ đều không tham gia vào CPI là những trở ngại lớn cho sự vận hành của định chế quốc tế này.  « Người ta thấy rõ có một kiểu hợp tác ʺtheo mónʺ. Nhất là ở những nước lớn, người ta chỉ thấy có một sự hợp tác pháp lý quốc tế nếu như điều đó có lợi cho họ. Còn nếu như điều đó gây bất lợi, phiền hà, thì họ thoái lui hay thậm chí đối đầu với các định chế một cách trực diện. Quả thật, đây là một nhược điểm, do còn thiếu sự ủng hộ từ nhiều quốc gia. Nhưng mặt khác, chúng ta có được 123 nước đã tham gia ký kết và phê chuẩn Hiệp ước Roma, đó cũng chính là những nước thành viên của Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế CPI. Dù vậy, cũng nên nhìn nhận là vẫn còn thiếu tính phổ quát, đây thật sự là một khiếm khuyết quan trọng cho CPI. » Thế giới hẳn chưa quên việc chính quyền Donald Trump hồi đầu tháng 9/2020 đã ban hành các biện pháp trừng phạt nhắm vào các lãnh đạo CPI nhằm trả đũa tòa án La Haye thông báo mở điều tra về tội ác chiến tranh, tội ác chống nhân loại của binh sĩ Mỹ tại Afghanistan. Làm thế nào một quốc gia có thể đơn phương áp đặt các biện pháp trừng phạt nhắm vào lãnh đạo của CPI ? Một hành động mà bà Viviane Dettrich đánh giá là « điều chưa từng thấy, đáng quan ngại », có thể gây ra những « tác động tai hại về việc tôn trọng các quyền cũng như gây trở ngại cho các tòa án tiến hành công việc của mình một cách độc lập ». Trong bối cảnh này, nhiều câu hỏi được đặt ra : Tương lai nào cho nền công lý quốc tế ? Nên chăng thành lập một tổ chức khác để xét xử các tội ác quốc tế ? Hay là cần phải có nhiều ràng buộc để các nước phải hợp tác nhiều hơn ? Liệu công lý có thể được thực thi theo một cách khác nghĩa là tự bản thân các nước thi hành công lý ? Về điểm này, phó giám đốc Viện Nghiên cứu các nguyên tắc Nuremberg lạc quan dự phóng hướng đi có thể cho nền công lý quốc tế trong tương lai: « Một trong những nguyên tắc cơ bản của CPI chính là nguyên tắc ʺtính chất bổ sungʺ. Nghĩa là, trước hết, công tác truy tố và xét xử phải được tiến hành ở cấp độ quốc gia. Chỉ khi nào không có thiện chí chính trị và khả năng, các vụ việc mới được xét xử trên bình diện quốc tế. Tuy nhiên, ngày nay, ngày càng có nhiều quốc gia xem xét nghiêm túc trách nhiệm của họ, đương nhiên các phiên tòa sẽ phải là công minh, hợp pháp và các vụ xử thật sự được nghiên cứu kỹ để đưa những người có trách nhiệm ra trước pháp luật. Chúng ta cũng thấy là ngày càng có những nước thứ ba xét xử những cá nhân vì những tội ác quốc tế phạm phải ở một nước khác. Ở đây, chúng ta có thể nói đến khái niệm thẩm quyền phổ quát,  và theo nguyên tắc này, một nhà nước có khả năng và đôi khi có bổn phận truy tố một người bị nghi ngờ phạm các tội ác quốc tế ở bên ngoài lãnh thổ của mình. Chẳng hạn, việc nước Đức cho mở phiên tòa xét xử các nhà lãnh đạo chế độ Syria là một ví dụ điển hình. Trong vụ việc này, có một sự hợp tác Pháp – Đức về tư pháp trên phương diện hình sự. Tư pháp Đức đã phối hợp với bộ phận chuyên trách về tội ác chống nhân loại, tội ác chiến tranh của Viện Công tố Paris để tiến hành các cuộc điều tra chung. Chúng ta thấy rõ là sự hợp tác này được tiến hành ở cấp độ quốc gia, thế nên đây sẽ là một sai sót nếu phủ nhận vai trò quan trọng của các cấp tòa án quốc gia như là một thành tố của nguyên tắc Nuremberg, nhất là khi đối chiếu với nguyên tắc tính bổ sung do CPI khuyến nghị. Thế nên, tương lai của luật quốc tế, đôi khi được định đoạt bởi những quân cờ ở cấp quốc gia và do vậy, cũng nên thật sự nhìn nhận những tiến bộ đáng kể đang diễn ra tại Đức và nhiều nơi khác. »

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the International Military Tribunal, Crime Story presents a new series, NUREMBERG. Sean Smith examines the many dimensions of the historic judicial proceedings. Drawing on official transcripts of the trial, as well as a vast bibliography of first- and second-hand accounts, NUREMBERG tells the stories behind the legal, political and personal struggles which complicated this revolutionary exercise in international jurisprudence.

The Nuremberg trials began 75 years ago, as high-ranking Nazis were held accountable on the basis of international law. A look back by a Holocaust survivor, by the son of Hitler's deputy in occupied Poland and by the daughter of a defense lawyer.

Deutschland 1945. Die Hitler-Diktatur ist vorbei, sechs Millionen Juden wurden von den Nazis ermordet. Für ihre Verbrechen müssen sich führende Repräsentanten des Staates vor einem internationalen Gericht verantworten - erstmals in der Weltgeschichte. Der "Hauptkriegsverbrecherprozess" gegen 24 ranghohe Vertreter des NS-Staates beginnt am 20.November 1945 in Nürnberg.

Philippe Sands, author of East West Street and The Ratline, joins Al and James to discuss the extraordinary war time stories he unearthed in his research. In this first episode he talks about Hans Frank, the Nazi ruler of Poland, and Frank’s son Niklas, who once said: “I don’t agree with the death penalty, except for my father.”https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-ratline/philippe-sands/2928377034016Join the We Have Ways members’ club now for £5 a month using the link below:Patreon.com/wehavewaysA Goalhanger Films productionProduced by Joey McCarthyExec Producer Tony PastorTwitter: #WeHaveWays@WeHaveWaysPodEmail: wehavewayspodcast@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Niklas Frank ist der Sohn jenes Mannes, der als Hitlers Generalgouverneur im besetzten Polen verantwortlich war für die NS-Vernichtungslager im Land. Niklas Frank hat seine Vergangenheit schonungslos aufgearbeitet - die Deutschen aber hätten es nicht, sagt er im DW-Interview.

Niklas Frank is the son of the man Hitler installed as general governor of occupied Poland. Hans Frank was responsible for the death camps in Poland. Niklas Frank has faced up to his past. But he tells DW that the Germans in general have not.

À propos du livre : « Retour à Lemberg  » aux éditions Albin Michel Invité à donner une conférence en Ukraine dans la ville de Lviv, autrefois Lemberg, Philippe Sands, avocat international réputé, découvre une série de coïncidences historiques qui le conduiront de Lemberg à Nuremberg, des secrets de sa famille à l'histoire universelle. C'est à Lemberg que Leon Buchholz, son grand-père, passe son enfance avant de fuir, échappant ainsi à l'Holocauste qui décima sa famille ; c'est là que Hersch Lauterpacht et Raphael Lemkin, deux juristes juifs qui jouèrent un rôle déterminant lors du procès de Nuremberg et auxquels nous devons les concepts de " crime contre l'humanité " et de " génocide ", étudient le droit dans l'entre-deux guerres. C'est là enfin que Hans Frank, haut dignitaire nazi, annonce, en 1942, alors qu'il est Gouverneur général de Pologne, la mise en place de la " Solution finale " qui condamna à la mort des millions de Juifs. Parmi eux, les familles Lauterpacht, Lemkin et Buchholz. Philippe Sands transcende les genres dans cet extraordinaire témoignage où s'entrecroisent enquête palpitante et méditation profonde sur le pouvoir de la mémoire.

– Written and narrated by Peter Bejger.Guilt, justice, and family ties.These dramatic themes are recalled today due to the recent publication of the Ukrainian-language edition of East-West Street by Phillip Sands, a book presented by the author at this year’s Lviv Book Forum.The Ukrainian publication of the critically acclaimed book by Sands recalls a panel discussion held on the very theme of guilt, justice, and family ties back in 2014 at the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe in Lviv.Panel moderator Sofia Dyak noted back then that we have many accounts of the Holocaust and other atrocities, but very few of the perpetrators.Sands was joined at the panel by his two of the subjects of his book. There was Nicklas Frank, the son of Hans Frank, a Nazi war criminal who was convicted of war crimes at Nuremburg and executed in 1945. He was joined by Horst von Wachter, the son of Otto von Wachter, who was the Nazi governor of Galicia and died in hiding in Rome in 1949.Sands, Frank, and von Wachter all share ties with Lviv, or, as it was known then, Lemberg. Sands’s maternal grandfather was born there before the First World War. Niklas Frank’s father Hans Frank delivered a notorious speech in the great hall of Lviv University in 1942 lauding in a grotesquely humorous manner the extermination of the area’s Jews. Horst’s father Otto von Wachter was instrumental in creating the SS Galicia Division.As Sands has pointed out in his work, Niklas Frank hates his father. Horst von Wachter loves his, arguing Otto von Wachter was a decent man trapped in an impossible situation. Horst asserts his father spoke up against Nazi plans to make occupied Lviv a completely German city by purging it of all non-Germans.Sands calls his book an investigation of how a son deals with the legacy of his father. As Sands said, “The usual custom is that one honors his father. But equally there is also a custom that if one’s father has killed people, one should have a degree of recognition of what one’s father has done.” Sands wanted to explore this relationship between responsibility and love. “Frankly,” said Sands, “I think of Horst and Niklas as victims as well.”Sands was surprised by the lack of questions from the Lviv audience to the panel. He was of the opinion this might because of what he called, “the elephant in the room,” which was Ukrainian involvement in the atrocities of the war. He said he felt very much at home in Lviv after numerous visits, but stressed, “nowhere does one see an engagement with what happened. What is your reaction? If you’re engaged, why? Or why not?A young woman in the audience had one answer. She said, “Most of our relatives, our grandparents, our great-grandparents, were killed. There is nobody to ask about these events.” She went on to say that in her opinion Ukrainian “discomfort is not because of engagement or non-engagement but because we are a country in a war [with Russia].”The moderator Dyak stepped up in place of the audience silence to offer her take. “How many things can you ask and how many things have relevance in later generations? How many things can you transfer? But we are living here now, and can make our decisions about what we think is good or bad, what is relevant and what questions we can ask or we don’t ask. We also think we can ask later, and there won’t be anybody to answer these questions. For difficult questions, there is no good time to ask, because they are difficult.

Drawing from his new book - part historical detective story, part family history, part legal thriller - Professor Philippe Sands QC, explains the connections between his work on 'crimes against humanity' and 'genocide', the events that overwhelmed his family during the Second World War, and the remarkable, untold story that lay at the heart of the Nuremberg Trial: how Rafael Lemkin and Hersch Lauterpacht - the two prosecutors who brought 'genocide' and 'crimes against humanity' into the Nuremberg trial and international law - discovered that the man they were prosecuting - Hans Frank, Hitler's personal lawyer and Governor General of occupied Poland - had murdered their own families.

In 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained all manner of paraphernalia: medals, gems, two cigar cutters, silk underwear, a hot water bottle, and the equivalent of $1 million in cash. Hidden in a coffee can, a set of brass vials housed glass capsules containing a clear liquid and a white precipitate: potassium cyanide. Joining Göring in the detention center were the elite of the captured Nazi regime—Grand Admiral Dönitz; armed forces commander Wilhelm Keitel and his deputy Alfred Jodl; the mentally unstable Robert Ley; the suicidal Hans Frank; the ographic propagandist Julius Streicher—fifty-two senior Nazis in all, of whom the dominant figure was Göring.To ensure that the villainous captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, the US army sent an ambitious army psychiatrist, Captain Douglas M. Kelley, to supervise their mental well-being during their detention. Kelley realized he was being offered the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch-criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. So began a remarkable relationship between Kelley and his captors, told here for the first time with unique access to Kelley’s long-hidden papers and medical records.Kelley’s was a hazardous quest, dangerous because against all his expectations he began to appreciate and understand some of the Nazi captives, none more so than the former Reichsmarshall, Hermann Göring.
